New Guy, Help picking oil for Chevy 383 W Nitrous

[Callies_Kustoms]

Hey everyone,

I'm new here and just wanted to say thanks for all who are involved in this message board. I have been a car nut all my life and have been a self taught backyard mechanic for almost as long.

My question is with my 58 Chevy PU, I Rebuilt the engine with all forged internals, a Flat tappet cam and Vortec heads. It's a stroked 350 and is putting out about 420hp + 125hp Nitrous.

My current plan is to use a Cheap high moly 10w30 oil I can get at Shucks with a rebate, like Chevron or Havoline and add a pint of EOS to kick the Zinc up. The truck does not get a lot of miles but I figured I would change it pretty often.

Or would I be better off just getting Redline and calling it good?

Thanks
Jordon

For half the cost of Redline, I would use this synthetic:

Amsoil ACD 10w30

Plenty of ZDDP and Ca based additives....

Amsoil, Redline, Royal Purple are all outstanding for your engine !

Or just pick your favorite oil and SLOB it...

10w40 Redline

Maxlife 10w40 semi syn or Rotella T 5w40
